Super Affiliate Marketing Blog

A few days ago I was going over some ideas on how to leverage my time, and make it worth my while to keep giving out necessary advice to people who really need it. I figured posting the blog would slow down the amount of emails coming in asking for free advice, but of course, I was wrong! So I figured I needed to put some serious thought into this and come up with something quickly.

Here is what I will be doing:

I will be launching a new website that will deal with 1 on 1 consulting. It’s not going to be a by the hour type deal, instead, the client will submit a list of 20 questions, and I will answer those on top of their goal that they’d like to reach. I will most probably be charging about $300 for this. Coming up with the price was a bit tough for me, because like all consultants, we all think our time is work a cajillion dollars. I figure, if I had to take some time out of my day to help someone, I may as well make it worth my while and theirs, especially with the type of advice I’ll be giving out.

Just to let you guys know, this is not some general advice about what would work best for the industry/niche the client is in. It would be straight forward, no sugar coating bullshit answers to EXACTLY what the client needs to do, from some very personal and unique perspectives. Meaning, the advice/consulting they’ll get is tailored specifically to THEIR site, not their industy’s. Which I think is a very important aspect that is generally not found anywhere else.

Sure, you can read forums and boards, and spend $35 on ebooks that you’ll never follow, or read tons and tons of threads about how this guy made this and that guy made that, and all sorts of bullshit like that. Or, you can pick up your skirt, grab your balls, and make some fucking money. (That line is from Boiler Room — I wish I came up with it on my own!)

That’s what this business is for me. It’s a money making business, not a social group to impress people and make a ton of friends. Sure, those are always nice perks, but when we get down to it, I’m here to make money, and I think that is one of the most important and overlooked aspects of this game. People on forums these days are always trying to “make and play nice”, and it really bugs me, because that’s not how real people act. We are crude, we use profanity (not asterisks!), and the less censorship and more free speech the better. That’s just my approach to everything really..

So anyhow, back onto topic..

I am also trying to figure out a way to accomodate those that can’t afford the 1-1 consultation. I know, when your site isn’t even clearing $100 a month in profits, spending $300 seems like it’s impossible. But remember, YOU HAVE TO SPEND SOME TO MAKE SOME. So coming up with maybe a paid weekly/monthly newsletter for like $10/mo may be in the works. Maybe I’ll try and answer 20 submitted general and industry specific questions in each newsletter, I don’t even know. Those of you that emailed me and commented on my blog posts about doing some type of paid forum sparked my interest, but honestly, it seems so overly time consuming and annoying.. If someone wants to get into it with me and contact me to really explain how it would be beneficial, I’d like to hear what you have to say. Don’t be intimidated either, but only really contact me if you know your shit. Don’t try and do it so you can get some free instant advice just because you have me on IM’s or Skype.

Well, that’s it for now, I’ll be keeping everyone updated as new developments arise, until then, keep the comments coming, and to all you lurkers, start commenting already, you know you want to!
